Abstract: A collapsible spray shield disk is combined with a gripping device. The spray shield disk member is a fabric web that is stretched onto a spring wire frame. The disk member normally has an expanded diameter large enough to cover and protect a vehicle wheel rim, but can be collapsed into a smaller diameter that is a fraction of that in the expanded configuration. A gripping device has an adjustable central gripper bar, and hinged end portions that clip onto diametrically opposed locations of the spring wire frame. The gripping device folds together to contain the spray shield when the latter is in its folded-down configuration. The disk member can employ a spray-resistant, film-coated fabric (e.g., vinyl, urethane, etc. on nylon) or a durable plastic film. The bar can be formed of interfitting slides so that its length can be adjusted.
